Oh, I didn't know the quotes were optional... The way I first learned it, they had to be there? That's cool, it saves a few keystrokes in the future... lol

I don't think the breaks in the border are at the places where the background edges tile though?

It's almost like there's something at the end of each row of category images that is clearing both sides of the box, but I can't figure out what would be doing it. and it now shows up fine in IE 5, which is the one I was really having trouble with (just cuz I'm a perfectionist that way) but not in IE6. *sighs*

I'll try the code and see what happens... Thanks!

And thanks for the compliments on the site! I had a few people tell me I couldn't lay out an e-commerce site with the type layout I had in mind cuz it would be too complicated, especially since the site was originally osCommerce. But me, being me, took that as a challenge... lol

Don't tell me it can't be done, cuz I will try and find a way to do it... lol
